Exercise, weight training and specifically muscle building isn’t rocket science. Whilst it is true to say everyone responds slightly differently, there are some general ‘go-to’ rules that will help maximise the results from your efforts. Here are the things I wish a 16-year-old me had known all those years ago which would have certainly sped up my progress.
You are on a diet, fat loss is going well, then out of the blue you have a stressful day or a party invite you just cannot turn down. This leads to an alcohol/fast-food fuelled weekend. So here is how to rescue the diet from the carnage of your weekend and get back on track relatively easily.
If you have ever worked out hard in the gym or during any sport, then chances are you have felt this soreness. It is a side effect of strenuous physical activity and it tends to be called DOMS (Delayed Onset of Muscle Soreness).
We use this term when referring to very small improvements (1% or less) in many related disciplines, that when compounded, lead to a much greater improvement in performance.
Fitness for free is something I really advocate. I personally believe cost should never be a barrier to health and so I want to discuss one type of the many free fitness activities out there, the “Parkrun”.
